Supercuts ranked number one haircare franchise by Entrepreneur magazine (Photos)

Budget fashionistas who eschew pricy Beverly Hills salons for the more convenient and affordable Supercuts will be happy to know that the franchise earned top billing in the January 2013 issue of Entrepreneur magazine.

One of the largest coif chains, with more than 2,300 shops across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, and most iconic salon brands in the country, has been ranked the number one hair care franchise in the U.S. and the fifth best franchise opportunity overall in Entrepreneur magazine's January 2013 Franchise 500.

"We're very pleased and proud that Supercuts has been ranked the number one hair care franchise for the fifth year in a row," said Paul Plate, Regis Corporation's senior vice president, franchise division. "Our franchisees have access to tools, resources and a business model specifically designed to help their business grow and expand."

Gary Grace, chairman of the Supercuts Franchise Council, said in a press release, "We have a tremendous built-in support system for franchisees. We share best practices and offer each other advice – no matter if it's a first store opening or the 50th," said Grace. "We continually concentrate on creating an exceptional guest experience and a successful business, and we're seeing the results with this ranking."

Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 issue is published every January and considered the world's most thorough and comprehensive franchise ranking. Rankings are determined by objective, quantifiable measures of a franchise's operations and include factors such as financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system, years in business and startup costs.
